Get crafty this season with a Hip Handmade Holiday


Now that costumes are packed up, the candy has been eaten, our sugar commas have faded, it's almost time to pull out our Christmas decorations. And if you're anything like me, you will be pulling out basically nothing. Zilch. Now that beck is old enough to believe in Santa and understand Christmas, I'm going to take advantage and craft my heart out. Those of you that know me know I'm uninspired when it come to crafting, really I am quite lacking. That is why I'm SO dang excited about a the Hip Handmade Holiday which is a digital craft book with 18 projects, 9 instructional videos and over 100 printable gift tags, stickers, labels, stencils, and patterns all related to Christmas!! Alison and Susan are the cute ladies behind the digital book, and luckily for me, I was able to make and customize one of the projects then share it with all of you. Thanks ladies! 

There are projects for all levels of crafters—whether you’re a crafting master or crafting minor, you’ll find gifts you’re excited to create. Take it from me, the crafting challenged, you'll be excited...not just because your house is going to look awesome and hip, but because it will be easy with the book's pro-tips, shortcuts for quicker crafting, details on where to buy supplies, as well as videos with detailed instructions. The book is broken into six sections and each section has three crafts. The sections are: Gifts for Gents, Gifts for Ladies, Gifts for Four-Legged Friends, Gifts to Treasure, Gifts for the Home and Gifts In a Hurry.--The Gifts in a Hurry section includes over 100 gift tags, stickers, and printables. There are wine bottle labels, treat box stickers, stationary and lots of other solutions for last-minute holiday giving. And if you are like me, I have a hard time shopping for my man. Thus the Gifts for Gents sections is quite helpful! The projects for men include: The Nutcracker Bowling League (bowling pins), Faux Antlers (a trophy made from paper mache) and The Lumberjack Breakfast Kit.

Seriously, what are you waiting for and download this book! It's amazing, inexpensive and oh, and did I mention..hip?

The craft weekend was the literally the funnest event I've ever been to, not just because of the delicious goodies, but because of the ladies I met and the crafting. Oh man it was fun to get my craft on. Thanks vivint for making this weekend possible :)
I'm going to miss these crafting ladies!
